Thanks for the reply, some of this I figured out, and some I have more questions on. . . comments below.

Ok, I see where to create them (I didn't before, blind again I guess), but how does this correspond to things I've got in radgroupcheck? When I try to add a new user, not all of my groups from radgroupcheck show up. The custom radius replies only show up when those items are uncommented in user_edit.attrs, however there is a PHP error if that whole file is commented out. Answer to my own question: The group must already have a user assigned to show up in the "show groups" or "new user" pages. However, you can type in the group name and directly edit the group, to add the fist user. Then it shows up everywhere it should. By disabling everything but "Simultanious-Use" from user_edit.attrs, I got resolved the problem of putting all the useless attributes into SQL when they aren't necessary, oddly if I leave it blank, it doesn't insert a row into radcheck (which is perfectly fine) - though the other things in user_edit.attrs were inserting rows even when blank.

What's the error message? Well, I wasn't looking at it in depth enough. I can't change the IP address, but I /can/ change anything else. However, I still can't *add* a new NAS.

In the docs folder it mentions that "cisco" and "lucent" are support. What does it mean by Lucent? Lucent makes a lot of gear, Portmasters, and Maxes among other things. I see specific mention of MAX 3000, so I'm going to try it with my 40xx's and see what happens. I'll also see about writing a patch to support usrhiper, though I am not very confident in my ability to do so - in otherwords, it might not happen ;) > > > > > 6) "Find User" function doesn't work.
